The Paris Morning News - Saturday, March 29, 1919
Barham McHam, an old and respected resident of Lamar County who had lived here nearly all of his life, died at 12:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the home of his son-in-law, A.L. Stephenson, 222 South 24th Street. He had been ailing about two months, his affliction beginning with an accident. He dropped an iron on his foot and was threatened with blood poison. Other complications developed, which caused him gradually to grow weaker on account of his advanced age. His illness became serious about ten days before his death and he was moved from his farm six miles southeast of town to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Stephenson. He was seventy-nine years old, was born in North Carolina and when he was seven years old he came to Lamar County with his father, who settled east of town near the old waterworks and had lived here ever since. He was engaged in farming all of his life.
He is survived by five daughters: Mrs. W.D. Ingram of Jennings; Mrs. Walter Williams of Childress County; Mrs. Frank Williams, living near Henrietta; Mrs. John Campbell of Atlas and Mrs. Stephenson of Paris. He is also survived by a full brother, W.D. McHam and several half-brothers.
He was a consistent member of the Christian church and took an active interest in church work until he became too advanced in years. The funeral service will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the home of Mr. Stephenson and will be conducted by Rev. Ben M. Edwards. The burial will be at Evergreen Cemetery.
